I think the "Twitch" character was designed as a nod to vintage motu figures. I mean look at him! His legs are buckeled in, he's short and stocky with biceps..and also he's got skeletor feet!. Even his armour and staff look so motu it's not even funny. I got a feeling we are gonna see him done in motuc style at some point. It'll advertise both these huge toy lines for them...makes sense to me

I think he'd be a very cool figure if made. His bio would probably place him from another Galaxy/dimention, or a relative of spyfly...???

He does show some promise but I would say keep him on the shelf for a while, so to speak.

Real Name: Tllrish

Bio: Twitch is a peaceful member of an alien species who left his planet to spread the message of K'rzirk, the artichoke-like deity of Twitch's planet. Found first by He-Man and Man-At-Arms, communication was attempted. Unfortunately, Twitch's dependence on a sugar-like substance for sustenance makes him unable to maintain focus on any one thing for more than a few seconds. As a result, Twitch appears to ramble incoherently to bystanders and is constantly moving his head in every direction. The only being that seems to be able to communicate with Twitch is Buzz-Off but only long enough to convey basic concepts ("danger", "friends", "enemy", etc.). Too unpredictable and undependable to be considered an efficient ally of the Masters, Twitch wanders Eternia babbling to those poor souls desperate and patient enough to hear him out. In fact, he has been seen "talking" to streams, trees and rocks throughout his journeys among the Eternians

Abilities: Twitch's body is composed of a chitinous material that is lightweight and highly resistant to damage. His multi-faceted eyes allows him a much wider spectrum of vision than average Eternian. Any object in Twitch's "view" can capture his fleeting attention hence Twitch shifting his head almost constantly. His species is equipped with wings that allow him to fly and carry almost twice his weight. However, no one had let Twitch carry them given his history of lack of focus and a tendency of dropping objects he is carrying to take a closer look at something new that catches his attention. He carries his staff of K'rzirk, the symbol of his deity. It has no inherent capabilities and is constructed of unknown metals. It is the one thing Twitch always has on his mind enough to never forget.

If we can get to the point where there's enough product to last a few hours or even days.. than I think this figure could be another crossover attempt to bring over other fans. They crossed over with DC with the TRU exclusive two packs, they'll cross over with Adult Swim at SDCC with Mo-Larr. I imagine there to be alot of Disney collectors out there.. It's possible doing a figure of "Twitch" could very well bring in some of them maybe just for the one figure, maybe they'd start collecting more...

I'm planning on going to Disney World next year.. I'd definitly rock a "Twitch" T-Shirt there.. haha.. I got alot of comments on my Orko t-shirt last time I was there in 2006.

I saw the new Toy Story 3 Twitch figure at Target today, and it IS very reminiscent of vintage MOTU. It'll probably be the only figure I buy from Toy Story 3, and I would love to see it made as a MOTUC figure. I'll post pics when I get it.
